Committing to a plan
Contexto cultural
Punctuality is non-negotiable. If you have an 'avtale', being 5 minutes late is considered a breach of trust. Norwegians prefer flat hierarchies. An 'avtale' made with a junior employee is often as binding as one made with a manager. The 'Takk for sist' (Thanks for last time) culture means that every 'avtale' is a link in a long chain of social interactions. Oral agreements are legally binding in Norway, though written ones are preferred for proof.
The 'Time' vs 'Avtale' trick
If you are paying for the person's time (doctor, lawyer), use 'bestille en time'. If it's a mutual plan, use 'gjøre en avtale'.
Don't be late!
In Norway, an 'avtale' is a promise. If you are late, you are breaking a promise.
